Replying to: tdoh (Feb 23, 2006 4:32 pm) Oops, looks like I misspoke. Yes, you are correct, I meant the 07 as being a brand new model.
#160 of 162 Suburban's Rule by jck1 Jun 12, 2006 (11:46 am)
I tried the Expedition, Sequoia, Armada, Tahoe & Suburban. In truth, the Sienna had more passenger room than all but the Suburban. My wife and I have 4 boys, a girl and 115 yellow lab. The Suburban was the clear choice. It also makes me feel better knowing that my most presious cargo is in such a safe vehicle.

Replying to: tomk4 (Jan 11, 2006 11:24 pm) Just got done towing a 5000# dry (probably 5800# loaded) travel trailer from Denver to Steamboat Lake with a 93 SR5 Sequoia. Handled great over Eisenhower tunnel and Rabbit Ears pass (did get down to 35 mph over Rabbit Ears). Gas mileage did drop as low as 4 mph for a time, but made it all the way back on one tank and 3 hours drive time! I was very concerned about towing that kind of weight but did clear it with the TRD guru at a local dealer. Guarantee I was over the GVWR of 11,800 ( I'd have to pull the seats and drive naked not to). The key is to get a good hitch set up and dial in the trailer breaks (recommend cam anti-sway control and load equalizer bars). Temps were in the 90's pulling extended grades of 6% at altitude and never had the temp budge. I know alot of people will argue to NEVER exceed weight limits. I am very conservative and never felt overloaded, unsafe or white knuckled. I guess I don't necessarily buy into attorney and lawsuit driven national paranoia of guard rails everywhere and coffee labeled hot.

Replying to: jsnoopy (Feb 22, 2006 12:51 pm) "My take on the Sequoia is that it is HIGHLY OVERRATED AND HIGHLY OVER PRICED. No wonder the Sequoia is said to have a higher trade in value. It's OVER PRICED to begin with."   Having owned a Tahoe and now a Sequoia I thought you might be interested to know that according to Edmunds TMV pricing-   2007 Burb LT 1500 4WD w/ LTZ package & Navigation is $48,267.   2006 Sequoia Limited 4WD w/ Navi is $40,700.   And you were saying? Almost 8K more and in a couple of years the Sequoia will still have a higher resale than the Chevy. Heck, it will most likely outlast it too.   "Take notice as to what the U.S. Government is using....Suburbans!!" Yes, they are cheap and expendable.
